After a one day delay thanks to the extended Labor Day weekend, Booster Gold, Volume 2, #36 (found here, here, and here in their chronological order of Booster appearances within the issue) and Justice League: Generation Lost #9 are scheduled to hit stands today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.
UPDATE: People, read JL:GL first, Booster Gold second. Trust me, it will make more sense. (I swear that they are trying to make the chronology of Booster's adventures as complicated as possible for the only person on the planet who is trying to keep them in order: me.)
Meanwhile, in the continuing adventures of Beefcake Gold:

Max's mind-power must be really strong to keep his eyes from wandering over to that star.

My friendly local comic shop sold their copies of BG36 before I could get there - curses. I'll need to see about getting a bin at that store. The same thing happened for the last Time Masters comic, which I have yet to read.<br /><br />(BTW, your captcha gave me something ridiculously unreadable; the first word appeared to be something from Asia Minor...)

BG has started selling out at my LCS as well. I think they are ordering fewer copies. I have a box, but didn't put Time Masters on my pull list... it also sold out (issues 1 & 2). What's up with that? Also, captcha is going WAY above and beyond. Often, I have no idea what words I am supposed to type. Is there a setting for that or something? Lastly, I would buy that suit in a heartbeat!

Sorry about that reCAPTCHA problem, guys. I had noticed that it was requiring more esoteric characters. I don't know if that's because the scanned books that it is parsing it's wordlist from are moving beyond the English language (which I'd expect, now that Google owns them), or just because it has to stay an extra step ahead of savvy hackers. Unfortunately, I know from past tests that I have to have it to screen spam. If it gets too bad, let me know, and I'll take a look to see if I can't find another Captcha provider that I can use.
On the other subject, Just maybe all this press recently over the controversial change in tone has sent readers back to the title, increasing demand. Orders certainly haven't been climbing by leaps and bounds. Of course, I suspect that your retailers have just been cutting orders drastically. But I can certainly hope.

my lcs always has a good stock of everything (at least as far as what I'm interested in) but the one I used to go to (it closed) never had much of anything aside from what I got (probably why it closed) <br />as for the captcha, I think it just puts random letters together somtimes

Random letters shouldn't be too bad. Let me know when it's asking for letters that don't appear on your keyboard.

UPS failed to make it to my local comic shop today. There were many tears on my part.<br />I'll have to get my fix tomorrow.

did Time masters come out? all my store had was Generation Lost, did I miss it? do I need to go back next week and search the "recent but not new" section? or did it get pushed back, or dare I say, sold out on Wednesday? (I get my comics on Thursdays)
Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Aug. 27, 2010 at 12:36 PM
Yes, it came out. I have a copy. I've just been too busy to post it so far.

huh, guess I missed it then, gotta look for it next time I go to my LCS

Think about it this way: with today's release of Justice League: Generation Lost #6, we're almost at the quarter point of the series! Maybe it's just me, but it still seems like this story is just getting started. That's probably a good thing, as I clearly want more. Buy it and make Skeets happy.

Booster also appears in Power Girl 14, 3 appearences in 1 week!

So what did you think of Keith Giffen's artwork fail? I would have stopped reading had the entire issue looked like that. If I want inconsistent and cartoonish artwork like that, I'll go to an elementary school. Fail fail fail. Thank goodness that the rest of the issue didn't look like that.
Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jul. 15, 2010 at 1:24 AM
Wow. So you didn't like it, huh? There are two kinds of fanboys: art people and story people: I'm pretty sure that I now know which you are, TGB. Giffen is capable of a surprising range of styles, most of which have been criticized by comic readers for the last 20 years. I've seen much, much worse professional comic book art. So I have to say that I don't consider it a "fail," though I agree that it is a disconnect with the established visual aesthetic of the series. At least it's not Rob Liefeld or Todd McFarlane (yes, I admit it, I hate McFarlane's art) or any of a number of other artists from DC's mid-1990s Brazilian explosion.

Shawn: Are you sure it's this week? I looked for Power Girl this week and it wasn't on the selves. Then I looked online and it was listed next week.<br />Boosterrific: I'm a mix of both. I try to be more lenient on art since I draw but this did mess up the flow of the book. I wasn't too thrilled with the writing either. A lot of stuff took me out of the issue and seemed to really change the feel of the the series.
Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jul. 15, 2010 at 2:02 AM
Erin, I understand completely. I have a BFA degree in drawing, so you can assess the value I place on art. But I generally think storytelling (almost exclusively the domain of the writer) is king in all entertainment media, including comic books. I'll have more to say about this subject in the Boosterrific.com blog entry tomorrow.
TGB posted on Jul. 15, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Agreed RE Liefeld. Booster doesn't need a dozen and a half ammo pouches or guns. <br />@Erin: The only writing issue I had was the name of the villain.
Erin posted on Jul. 15, 2010 at 8:19 PM
Boosterrific: Storytelling is a huge part but I like to think it walks hand and hand with the art in comics. I remember this one comic I got where I couldn't tell what was happening because the art wasn't clear. Looking forward to your thoughts.<br />TGP: The tone shifts and the joke/insults took me completely out of the story as well as Michelle making the choice for Booster in regards to Rani bothered me. Liked the last two issues but not this one.

Erin, the more I think about it, the more I see what you're saying.
